Acid-Spewer Dragon card art
Acid-Spewer Dragon enters the battlefield and immediately shrinks every creature an opponent controls by -1/-1 for the rest of the game — a meaningful board impact at the cost of six mana for a 3/3 flier with deathtouch. The rate is too slow for competitive formats and the body too small for the investment, making this a casual Commander role-player at best.

Acid-Spewer Dragon is legal in Commander, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer, Vintage, and Oathbreaker, but sees essentially no play outside of casual Commander. In Commander it fits narrowest in -1/-1 counter strategies or Dragon tribal shells that can tolerate a six-mana 3/3, but even there more efficient threats crowd it out. In Modern and Legacy the rate is simply non-competitive — six mana for a 3/3 with a enters-the-battlefield debuff is nowhere near the bar those formats demand. Oathbreaker shares Commander's casual ceiling, where the card is playable but rarely optimal.

Price Context

Current price

$0.16 bulk tier

At $0.16, Acid-Spewer Dragon sits firmly in bulk territory. Bulk rares rarely recover value without a spike in competitive interest, and nothing about this card's design suggests that catalyst is coming.
